Synopsis: | This two-part documentary focusses on the history of black media practitioners in British television and the cultural heritage and diversity of black British people. The programme delineates the continuous presence of black actors on British TV and, thereby, reinscribes the cultural memory of British society. The programme is based on intensive research conducted for the British Film Institute and is accompanied by the book publication "Black and White in Colour: Black People in British Television since 1936" (ed. by Jim Pines, London 1992). | |
